The original bakery was founded in 1979 in Dearborn by the late Riad Shatila. Since then, the Dearborn location has expanded and the family has opened two additional facilities – West Bloomfield  and the new Dearborn Heights store. In addition to its three popular storefront locations, the bakery also ships its offerings to customers world-wide.

Bazzi was pleased with the city’s newest addition.

“We are delighted that Shatila chose Dearborn Heights for its newest location,” he said.  “We appreciate the Shatila family’s long-standing dedication to their customers and the communities they serve. We welcome the Shatila family of bakeries to Dearborn Heights and look forward to enjoying their authentic, high-quality delicacies and great customer service. We wish them great success.”
